Dara, the estranged wife of famous skit maker and actor, Kehinde Ganiyu also known as Ijoba Lande, has disputed her ex-husband’s allegations that she had relationships with 21 men in the entertainment sector.
She challenged him to give evidence, claiming that the charges were baseless.
Dara revealed this in an interview with actress Biola Adebayo on Friday, when she addressed the allegations Lande made in a recent viral interview.
Dara responded to Lande’s charges by swearing that she was never unfaithful and daring him to produce any evidence he claimed to have.
“Saying that I slept with 21 men, he (Ijoba Lande) cannot point out to one man that I have done that with. Let him prove it. He should name them and release the video he claims to have,” she said.
Dara also accused Lande of being a chronic gambler and physically abusive, claiming that he spent millions on online betting while neglecting his responsibilities.
“He plays Aviator (online betting) a lot, and that thing has ripped him of millions. He even sold his car and used the money to bet. He was always on his phone and had no attention for me.
“I borrowed him my contribution money (ajo) to shoot skit and he used it to play betting. He can use two million naira to bet in a month.
“I even had to collect food on credit while living with him because he didn’t take care of me. On top of that, he would beat me whenever he got angry,” she alleged.
She further revealed that Marygold, her friend, played a major role in their separation.
“Our problem started when Marygold failed to pay back N1 million from our contribution group (ajo). I challenged her to return the money, but Lande kept defending her, saying I should leave her alone. Meanwhile, when it was her turn, she collected her money without delay.”
